The Killer Klowns from Outer Space are coming to the streets of Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights. More deets coming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Universal hasn\u2019t revealed many details about the scare zone itself, the teaser confirms that the murderous extraterrestrial circus clowns will once again stalk guests through the streets of Universal Studios Florida.<\/p>\n

The cult-classic 1988 horror film has become a Halloween Horror Nights favorite over the years. After debuting as a scare zone in 2018, the property was so popular that it inspired a full haunted house the following year. Its return as a scare zone is sure to delight longtime HHN fans who have been hoping to see the cotton-candy-wielding Klowns terrorize guests once again.<\/p>\n

The Scare Zones Revealed So Far<\/p>\n

Although Universal has not yet unveiled every scare zone for Halloween Horror Nights 35, the event\u2019s street experiences are beginning to take shape.<\/p>\n

The newly announced Killer Klowns from Outer Space scare zone joins the growing lineup of immersive environments that guests will encounter throughout the park. Earlier this week we also found out that Sideshow of Decay and Infernal Carnival of Nightmares \u00a0would be joining the lineup for the scare zones.<\/p>\n

Usually there are 5 and with all the announcements being this week, I would guess we will get the 5th scare zone tomorrow.<\/p>\n
